The PD2725U DesignVue Designer 27" 16:9 HDR 4K IPS Monitor from BenQ has been built to satisfy designers' needs for color performance, with support for 100% of the sRGB and Rec. 709 color gamuts, 95% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, and HDR10. Driven by BenQ's AQCOLOR technology and an Ultra HD 4K resolution of 3840 x 2160 with a 60 Hz refresh rate, the PD2725U helps deliver improved accuracy and productivity tailored for specific tastes. It does this using three special modes—CAD/CAM, Animation, and Darkroom—each of which is tailored for different scenarios, allowing users in different fields to achieve similar results.

The PD2725U features In-Plane Switching (IPS) technology, an anti-glare panel coating, support for 1.07 billion colors (8-bit + FRC), a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio, a static contrast ratio of 1200:1, a typical brightness 250 cd/m² and a peak HDR brightness of 400 cd/m², 163 ppi, and a 5 ms (GtG) response time. Using the 178° horizontal and vertical viewing angles, it is possible to watch content from virtually any position. There are also two HDMI 2.0 inputs, one DisplayPort 1.4 input, and two Thunderbolt 3 ports that each support DP alt mode for daisy-chaining multiple displays and data transfers. One Thunderbolt 3 port supports devices charging up to 65W, while the other supports it up to 15W. Additional connectivity is achieved using two USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A ports (downstream) and one USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-B port (upstream). Audio can be output using the dual integrated 2.5W speakers or the 3.5mm headphone jack.

BenQ's PD2725U also supports HDCP 2.2, Flicker-Free technology, Low Blue Light technology, Picture in Picture (PiP), Picture by Picture (PbP), and more. To further help improve viewing and accessibility, it features a vertical tilt of -5 to 20°, a left/right swivel of ±30°, a clockwise/counterclockwise pivot of 90°, a height adjustment of 5.91", and a 100 x 100mm VESA mount. It is certified for Mac, Windows 10, 8.1, 8, and 7, SolidWorks, and Calman.

Please note that the USB ports will only operate with data transmission speeds of 10 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 2 when using the Thunderbolt 3 video input. If DisplayPort or HDMI is used, the data transmission speeds will operate at 5 Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 1.

Worth the money, simple, clean design, excellent color. 5

After searching for and testing several monitors (Dell, LG) for photo editing, I finally landed on the BenQ PD2725U, and I'm glad that I did. It's a beautiful monitor in every way, especially for my primary purpose: photo editing. The image quality is absolutely gorgeous, and the colors appear to be as rich and true as I could ever hope. The hockey puck takes a little getting used to, but after awhile it seems easy and seamless to make adjustments, or change the color settings. The only difficulty I had was with the monitor's initial setup - BenQ shipped DisplayPort, HDMI, Thunderbolt, and USB Type A to Type B cables, but not the one I needed (USB-C) to connect my recent vintage laptop. After futzing around with the Thunderbolt cable, I finally realized that it just wasn't going to work, and went out and bought a new cable. For a $845 monitor, I was a little disappointed that it didn't include one of the most commonly used cables. Otherwise, I'm extremely pleased with the monitor. 5

Really happy with this monitor! The pre-calibration is right on and the height adjustment and flip to portrait mode are fluid and effortless. The quick start instructions are worthless drawings without text, so go straight to the manual, which has to be downloaded. 5

Adrian Guillerm	01/08/2024
Perfect monitor for Mac mini,colours exactly the same as Apple Display monitor,idéntical.I bought the 27’version because I live in Buenos Aires;and this size enter in my suitcase.If not i’d prefer to buy the 32 inch monitor.Easy steps to install,very pleased With my purchase. 5

Albert	11/07/2024
This monitor is very nicely built and the display is impressive. While the screen is not quite as bright as my 27 5K iMac, the overall display quality is very good and colors are accurate. BenQ's power supply is internal, another plus. The BenQ display has no problems waking from my Apple Studio's computer sleep mode, my HP monitor required being powered off and back on each time. 5

David	29/06/2024
We bought this monitor for our editing bay. We absolutely love it! Its dynamic in color gamuts and quickness in switching from either one with the switch control that is given is truly amazing. Highly recommend it! 5

Look no further! I've searched tirelessly trying to find the best monitor to pair with my MacBook Pro M1. I'm a videographer and photographer and bought this monitor to have better color accuracy and help with video editing instead of working off a MacBook. After using the monitor for a month these are my opinions: Pros: - Excellent Clarity & Color (M-book profile is very comparable to MacBook color) -Screen size is very useful, especially for a video editor with its 16:9 ratio - Comparable resolution to previous iMac 5K Retina display. You can only see pixels if you're extremely close to the screen - Easy setup and compatible with Apple devices - Delivered with Thunderbolt 3 cable Cons: - Base plate is quite large and deceiving in pictures. I would recommend buying a separate VESA monitor stand to cut down on desk clutter - Speakers are average - Plugging in cables (thunderbolt, usb, display ports) is quite difficult. Not user friendly. Overall, very satisfied with this purchase instead of buying a 5K monitor. 5

Just added this monitor to our newest edit room along with an LG 48 OLED for preview display of 4K edit material. The display is sharp! Great options and features, i.e. Color Modes, Dual View and Display Pilot Software. The only qwerk is setting up some of the hot key puck shortcuts...not as intuitive as BenQ videos make it out to be. Overall build quality and image is awesome for the price, and we researched many options...but this seemed the best bang for the buck at this price point and with the multiple ports/Thunderbolt connections! Definitely recommend it. 5

Anthony	23/04/2024
Great home office monitor. Simple to set up with my M1 MacBook Pro, Just plug and play. Sharp, clear picture with good color rendering. My eyes feel so much better since getting this monitor. The extra USB slots also make life a lot easier. Two quibbles: First, the built-in speakers are the weediest I'v ever heard, so be prepared to invest in good external speakers or headphones. Second, it's hard together the back cover on once all the cables are plugged in. 5

Doug	22/04/2024
This Benq monitor is great for illustrators and photographers alike. Excellent color accuracy right out of the box. Excellent build quality as well. No pixel issues and the illumination is very even across the entire screen. 5
